6.11.5 Converting a Legacy Host Persona to a Host Persona
A legacy host persona is a host persona that simulates the behavior of a port persona. Prior to
the 3PAR InForm Operating System 2.3.1 release, port personas were used on InServ Storage
Server ports. Port personas are no longer supported. If you upgraded to the 3PAR InForm
Operating System 2.3.1 release from a previous release, your port personas were converted to
legacy host personas during the upgrade process.
If you are converting from a legacy host persona with an operating system that supports RTPG,
you should convert to new persona number 2.
 To convert a legacy host persona is a host persona, issue the
sethost -persona <persona_num> <hostname> command, where:
◆ <persona_num> is the number of the new host persona.
